Political Boundaries

Info: Brazil is the fifth largest country in the world by both population and geographical size. It is bordered on the north by Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname and French Guyana; on the north-west by Colombia; on the west by Bolivia and Peru; on the south-west by Argentina and Paraguay, and on the south it borders Uruguay. The Atlantic Ocean is bordering the nation on the east. Brazill’s largest cities, Rio and Sao Paul are located on the coast off the Atlantic ocean. The nation’s capital Brasillia is located in the middle of Brazil



Analysis: Brazil large size comes from the Eurpoean colonizers. A lot of people moved from Portugal and other parts of Europe to the coast of Brazil because they saw that as the most inhabitable area. That is the reason why even today most of the activity of Brazil takes place on the coast in cities like Sao Paul. The government upon independence divided Brazil into 26 separate states with 1 national district.
